If you were Scottish, you'd be thrown in jail.

I don't see how you can hate someone by the color of their skin
That's just as dumb as hating someone for their hair or eye color |

If we started jailing everyone that sent a racist tweet, then where do the real criminals go?
I don't know about you, but I would be pretty pissed off paying taxes for people in jail because of racist tweets |

Yeah I'd rather save my tax dollars????
thanks though if racist people actually bother you to a point where you feel that they should be thrown in jail then you aren't living your life right |

@Tato
Let me ask you a question...
Have you ever been to the South? I mean, the deep South?
Like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, or Georgia? |

Racism by itself is not a crime. Acting on your racist beliefs may or may not be a crime.

In the South, there is no such thing as hate crime or hate speech. You will not be tried for it. If you were, there would be a huge civil debate, and the majority would blame it on Obama. |

| People are entitled to their opinions. Some people are just to ignorant and stubborn to change their views. Racists shouldn't be jailed because of words, our jails are overpopulated anyway. |

| I have to wonder what he said, but no, he shouldn't have been sent to jail. |
